I have noticed that after running profile-cleaner on Chromium (v53) that I lose the ability to play videos on Youtube. This issue was solvable by removing Chromium's cache (rm -r ~/.cache/chromium). This has happened twice. I'm not completely sure profile-cleaner was the cause but I think that this was pretty good indication.

@graysky The tor browser path is:
prepath="$HOME/.tor-browser-$lang/INSTALL/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default"
Keep up the good work !!

Hello,

Namcap was spitting out a bunch of warnings for this package regarding dependencies already being satisfied, so I verified each one via pactree and indeed every dependency you have explicitly listed is either part of base-devel or pulled in by a package from base-devel. Base-devel should be assumed, so all your dependencies can be removed, or at least the ones directly pulled in via base-devel.

Few months ago profile-cleaner stopped working on my setup (I have to admit that I didn't have time to investigate it proprerly so far)... That's what I get:

$ profile-cleaner f
profile-cleaner v2.26

Cleaning profile for firefox

Profile(s) for firefox reduced by 0 Mbytes.

$ cat .mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=cc6njanq.default

Is there any way I could get some more verbose output from profile-cleaner? At the moment I have no idea why it's not working. By the way, it's the same story with Chromium profile - it's also not being reduced at all...

In any case GREP_OPTIONS should be cleared by the script, otherwise many cases can break.

graysky commented on 2014-01-18 23:48

Is $GREP_OPTIONS universal? Would clearing this in the script fix the problem?

tuborg commented on 2014-01-18 23:24

@kullfar - I had a similar problem. It was because I had the -n line number grep option set in my environment. echo $GREP_OPTIONS and make sure there is no conflicting settings. Your cut solution works with the -n however so it may be a nice fix for everyone (as the matching line number is printed at the beginning).

The script parses ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini so if something is off in there, that could be your problem. Verify that only profiles that are on the system are referenced. You can also post the contents of this file here for further help.

findutils is installed. I can run xargs, too.
The package "file" got corrupted somehow, as it was listed as installed, but /usr/bin/file was missing.
Dropping the cache and reinstalling base group did the trick.

profile-cleaner is working again.

Thanks!

I wouldn't understand how to build an Arch system without findutils either. Don't think, that's possible. Findutils is installed, of course.
But clearly the issue is on my machine, since profile-cleaner runs fine on my other one.
The machine in question got a new harddrive some weeks ago and I "reinstalled" by "rsyncing" a backup to the drive. I guess something went wrong there.

Thanks for your efforts!

Does the machine in question have findutils installed? If it does, xargs seems to be missing so `pacman -S findutils` to reinstall it.

Can you verify that 2.21 is working for you on the problematic machine?
